biggest scum on earth on Station St....

[ex-static]

wow, ive paid over $3000 in fines, and have one point left..

and your sooking about a $125 fine.

welcome to the world of traffic infringements.

[predator]

yeah, it does get expensive.. good to see we're paying those cop's sallaries so they can go and bust more people to hire more cops to do same. hmmm!

The way things are going, most people will be losing their license, even if to me they're not an excessive "speeder". The only thing that i really care about is how the insurance premiums are adjusted - if the "average" driver now has about 6 points then so what, doesn't mean they all have accidents. I've always got speeding fines and yet haven't ever been involved in an "at fault" accident..i've been rating 1 for 3 years.. speed doesn't necessarily = accidents for everybody.

Should see in Sydney, the local areas are pretty crazy with imports and stuff kaining around at all hours of the night. Makes melbourne look pretty tame. Even the cops do burnouts when they think they can get away with it.

For a cunning govt scheme to gain the more revenue from speeding fine instead of putting the money where they belong (better driver training, better road signs, road surface, etc)... NOT EVEN 1$ IS WORTH GIVING OUT TO THEM!!!

dun tell me I'm sooking for "only" $125 compared to your $3000.

it's my money, it's your money they're playing with and they're not doing anything to help the society....

look at the way they inforce more speed limits but does not reduce the road toll.... what went wrong ey? Somebody go shoot their brains please!

If I ever loose my VIC license (touch wood), I'll drive with my Indonesian license... Yes, it's the same side of the road, and Indonesian license got "Driving License" written on it in English, and recogniseable by VicRoads.

U r gonna get a speeding ticket or parking ticket atleast once in your life, its a fact of life.

Unless u catch public transport everywhere that is.

[rs73]

I'm not taking public transport, ask munkeh how the bus service along station st is.... u miss one, u wait 20 mins, u got to the train station, u miss one, u wait another 20 mins... what the... ???

That's why I love driving a car....

For almost 15 years of driving (I first drove a car @15yo where I came from) got pulled over once for running a traffic light which was obscured by a tree branch (police also hid behind that tree), another one time for not having first aid kit in my car... both events in Indonesia, of course I paid them some "unofficial fines" and then they let me go....

One accident, rear ended by an overloaded public minibus in 1993 as their tiny brakes can't stop their overweight cars...

Since 1998 when I came to Australia, I got 3 parking fines so far (1 in Camberwell, 1 in Caulfield, 1 in Richmond), 1 speeding fine (last week)..

So actually my driving records not that bad huh?

Australia has some of the toughest driving laws in the world..

and well from what i have seen of S.E. Asia (where they have hundreds of deaths A MONTH) i am glad sometimes.

this wont work?? once u lose ur license u are unable to drive until that suspension is over... i'll put this talking crap down to you being angry still!.

[funkymonkey]

you do know that if you have n international license then you have diplomatic immunity against traffic offenses don't you?

hehehe station st is a crack up its the only road in the world that i'd go under the speed limit coz I KNOW there's sum f00 around the corner waiting to get me.

I've caught them out on that street about 5 times, and given em the bird about 3 times... no high speed chase ensued... so i guess it mus be all good.

The problem is that Preston police station is right nex to station street so they go sick on that road. just use o'riel instead, i've never seen cops on that road.

and yes narkeh is very familiar with our neighbourhood now... (damn narkeh)

[rs73]

Preston police station?????

That's miles away from the section between Darebin-Separation!!!

They should've stayed around Northland S/C area, that Albert St... I've caught one of them right after Olympic Hotel scanning cars going north..... skunks!

Haven't seen the one that caught me.. that cop must have been lurking somewhere near that pizza takeaway at cnr of Separation, you reckon?

In regards to Int'l license, I don't think you got immunity, but usually they're just too damn lazy and won't bother givin you a fine coz (being somewhat unsophisticated) they can't even fill out the proper forms for the paperwork, so why not aim for easier targets... local drivers...

:bahaha:

[funkymonkey]

yeah that's what happened... my old man has dual residency, so he's got licenses from both countries... he got caught drunk as a skunk once, and he gave em his lankan license and they let him drive off lol.

I reckon that pizza shop is the biggest wank fest ever... That kid who works there with that lancer or whatever with the big rims always tries to drag me.

I dun live down that end anymore man, I live off albert street (at that intersection with murray road where nothland is)
